Description

Gemmy, colorless calcite crystals populate a geode in a brown-orange matrix specimen. Fully transparent and with tens of very lustrous faces, the main crystal is the key highlight of the specimen. Let me tell you: it is so transparent and lustrous that it was a real challenge to photograph!

In excellent conditions and with no visible contacts. Definitely not common to spot on the market in such quality. From the Lehmann collection (CH), it dates to the late 80s.
